Abstract
The previous chapter clearly showed that shear-based piezoceramic actuation using \(d_{15}\) is feasible for obtaining active twist. The current chapter dwells more on the development and validation of the concept of induced-shear-based piezoceramic actuation in helicopter rotor blades considering a simple two-cell box cross section. It is known that two-cell cross-section model is closer approximation to a realistic rotor blade section and is a good model for preliminary design studies.
